"How are we all doing?" Morgan hummed as he walked into the room.

"I'm doing my test." Adelaide waved him off.

"Oh, of course." Morgan nodded,"What's your test on?"

"Stupid math." Adelaide muttered.

"You're doing great." Fleur hummed.

"Math is a hard one, kid." Morgan shook his head.

"Can you help?" Adelaide looked up.

"Sure thing." Morgan walked over,"What question is bugging you?"

"This one." Adelaide pointed.

"Hm." Morgan studied the paper.

"You got this Derek." Fleur chuckled.

"Oh, I know I've got this." Morgan pointed before holding up his hands,"Now, I've got four apples here, and two apples there. How many apples do I have?"

"Four and two." Adelaide blinked, counting on her fingers,"Six."

"You got it, kid." Morgan patted her head.

"See? You just need patience." Fleur kissed Adelaides head.

"Thanks, mama." Adelaide smiled softly.

"Uncle Jah's coming over later tonight." Fleur nodded.

"He is?" Adelaide looked up.

"He is. But only if you're good." Fleur chuckled.

"I'm going to be really good."

"Yeah?" Fleur hummed.

"Yeah." Adelaide smiled.

"Good girl." Fleur nodded, Derek's phone ringing.

"Hold on." Morgan nodded as he answered the phone,"Yeah?"

"We got a case. Are you two able to come in?" Hotch asked.

Morgan sighed,"Yeah, yeah, we can."

"I'm sorry, I know Adelaide is there." Hotch nodded.

"It's fine." Morgan shook his head, hanging up.

Fleur looked over at Morgan,"Case?"

"Case." Morgan sighed.

"I'm gonna call your grandmas, okay? Mama and papa have a case." Fleur turned to Adelaide.

"Oh.. Okay." Adelaide nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry, Pumpkin." Fleur kissed her head.

"It's fine, I can just.. See Uncle Jah next time." Adelaide leaned against her.

Fleur sighed,"He's always willing to see you."

"I know."

"Keep going with your math while your grandmas come." Fleur patted her arm.

"I will, mama." Adelaide looked back down at her paper.

Fleur got up, rubbing her head, "Stupid case." She muttered.

"You ready?" Morgan sighed, putting a hand on her shoulder.

Fleur nodded, kissing Adelaide's head,"Je t'aime chérie."

"Je t'aime aussi, maman." Adelaide hummed.

Morgan smiled and kissed Fleur's cheek,"Let's go then."

Fleur grabbed her bag and left, heading to the office.
